About Thin corn tortillas
Thin corn tortillas are a staple of Mexican cuisine, made primarily from masa harina, a finely ground corn flour treated with limewater, and water. This process enhances the tortillas' nutritional profile by boosting calcium content and making the corn’s nutrients more accessible. Low in fat and calories, corn tortillas are a naturally gluten-free option, providing a source of fiber and complex carbohydrates that support sustained energy levels. They pair seamlessly with a variety of ingredients, making them essential in dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, and tostadas. However, some store-bought varieties may include added preservatives or sodium, so checking labels is advised for those monitoring their intake. A fantastic alternative to heavier bread or flour tortillas, thin corn tortillas provide a simple yet flavorful foundation for balanced meals rooted in Latin American tradition.
